DESCRIPTION

With the fall of the Galactic Empire came a substantial decrease in the number of available troops for each remaining Imperial Remnant. Mahporeem was certainly no exception to this, experiencing a nearly constant shortage of manpower as it desperately searched for ways to recruit additional troops.

Its solution was both novel and somewhat obvious: to expand the potential pool of recruits by including non-humans. Traditionally, the Empire was a human supremacist society that shunned the use of aliens in its Stormtrooper Corps. Mahporeem could not afford this luxury, and began creating an armor that would fit the various alien species hat lived on the planet.

Alien Stormtrooper Armor was the result of this work, and forms a large portion of Mahporeem's annual armor production. It functions quite similarly to standard Stormtrooper Armor, with the major difference between it and standard Stormtrooper Armor being that it was designed to be worn primarily by aliens. Though the armor cannot be worn by every alien species in the galaxy, its use has drastically expanded the available manpower to the Imperial Remnant.
